By Andrew MacAskillOn the most important day of his four-day visit to China, Starmer is due to have a 40-minute meeting with Xi at the Great Hall of the People before they have lunch together. Starmer will also hold meetings on Thursday with Premier Li Qiang and China's top legislator, Zhao Leji. China is also eager to mend ties, portraying the relationship with Britain as being at a "pivotal moment". In a sign of how the countries can work together, Downing Street said Starmer and Xi would announce that Britain and China would work together to tackle the gangs involved in trafficking illegal migrants. But the presence of more than 50 business leaders accompanying Starmer and his itinerary shows the priority for this trip is economic ties.
